Cervical collars are prescribed for a variety of reasons like cervical spondylosis which is induced by aging or stress that affects the cervical spine. They’re designed to be used for a brief period of time while recovering from an injury, trauma, or pain, especially for post-surgical restrictions after neck surgery. There are two variants of cervical collars to prevent back and forth or side-to-side movement. The softer cervical collars are made of felt, foam, or rubber and are used for mild injuries for a short duration.

Neck pain does not necessarily indicate an underlying ailment. In most cases, poor posture can be the single most cause for undue stress on the cervical spine leading to chronic neck aches and stiffness. When you visit the doctor, apart from pain killers and a cervical collar, they also offer you advice on maintaining the right posture and show neck stretching exercises. Whether you are working on a laptop or driving the car, your head should always be in a neutral position and you should take regular breaks to avoid muscle stiffness around the neck. The cervical collar keeps your neck in the required neutral position and also helps in easing the pain. However, the cervical collar is advised only for a few weeks in mild cases and should not be worn for long term as it may lead to muscle weakness.
